Dry eye is showing up in exam lanes every day—and for many practices, it represents one of the most consistent opportunities to improve patient comfort, visual stability, and long-term trust. In this Defocus Media Podcast episode, Dr. Darryl Glover and Dr. Jennifer Lyerly are joined by dry eye specialist Dr. Jackie Garlich to discuss real-world dry eye care, focusing on identifying symptoms, confirming diagnosis with practical tools, and addressing inflammation with therapies such as Xiidra.1*
Dry, irritated, and every lubricant burns or makes a mess? You're not alone. 91% of women say their libido changes in menopause.Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author of Nourishing Menopause, 7x published menopause researcher and menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with Deborah Porteous, co-founder of The Pleasure Pods Company, who hit vaginal dryness in her early 50s and couldn't find a single product that didn't irritate her, ran everywhere, or ruined the sheets. So she and her partner Brian spent two years with a formulator and a team of plant scientists building something better: a 100% plant-based solid that melts at body temperature. This is the honest, slightly cheeky conversation about dryness, painful sex, and pleasure that most of us never got to have.Topics:Why vaginal dryness hits almost 40% of women in perimenopause and menopause, and why it's nothing to be embarrassed aboutThe difference between a lubricant, a vaginal moisturizer, and vaginal estrogen, and why it's not either/orWhat's inside Pleasure Pods and why the solid format mattersHow women are using the pods beyond intimacy: massage oil, face, dry skin, even travelWhy sexual wellness products for women are still so hard to advertise, and what that stigma costs usChapters:0:00 How a solid-to-liquid lubricant works (cold open demo)1:10 Libido in menopause: what almost 1,400 women told our survey5:00 Meet Deborah Porteous and the story behind Pleasure Pods9:30 Talking vaginal dryness on a pitch stage: the CHFA launchpad story13:00 Why so many lubricants burn, itch, or irritate after 5018:00 Mango, cocoa, and kokum butter: what's actually in the formula23:30 How to use it: palms, warm massage oil, face, and dry skin29:00 Lubricant vs vaginal moisturizer vs vaginal estrogen35:00 Cutting a pod into pieces for overnight vaginal moisture39:30 The stigma of marketing women's sexual wellness products44:00 Deborah's panel podcast and where to buy Pleasure PodsLearn more about Pleasure Pods here: https://thepleasurepods.com/Watch the interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/n1odK1pPdV8Send us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined
The Last Trade: Matt Dines, CIO of Build Asset Management, joins to lay out the seismic monetary reshuffling underway in 2026, the unwind of the post-Bretton-Woods offshore-dollar system that ran the global economy from 1971 to 2022, why LIBOR's deprecation and the SOFR transition quietly moved the dollar's command center from London to New York, Scott Bessent's strategy to monetize the asset side of the Treasury balance sheet through the GENIUS Act stablecoin and a Bitcoin reserve targeting 1 million BTC, Tether's December 2023 alignment with the American Sovereignist movement, and the contrarian read on MicroStrategy as a "dollar strategy" rather than a Bitcoin strategy.---
Here's how the hardest reset on the planet actually works, and how to do it safely. Theo Lucier has spent over a decade studying dry fasting through his project Forgotten Health and his guided program Dry Fast with Friends. He breaks down why a true dry fast is different from a water fast, how the body burns fat for its own water, the endogenous stem cell release on day 5 and 7, and why the way you exit matters more than the fast itself. Meet our guest Theo Lucier is a natural health researcher and supplement formulator, founder of Forgotten Health, and co-creator of the Dry Fast with Friends community program with Sean McCormick. After overcoming severe chronic fatigue and 16 years of one-meal-a-day eating, he now focuses on dry fasting for stem cell release, cellular detox, and energy.

As we head into another summer season, HeHe is bringing back one of the most important episodes in The Birth Lounge Podcast archive. Water safety is something she feels incredibly passionate about because drowning is often silent, fast, and far more common than most families realize. If you have children, spend time around pools, visit the beach, own a backyard pool, or simply want to be more prepared, this is information every caregiver needs to hear. In this re-aired episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with Tyler Bradshaw from Aqua-Tots Swim School for a conversation every parent, grandparent, and caregiver needs to hear. Because when it comes to water safety, most of us think it won't happen to our family... until it does. Together, they unpack the sobering realities of childhood drowning, including where it most commonly happens, why it often occurs when adults are nearby, and the simple mistakes that can turn a fun day around water into an emergency. Tyler shares the statistics every parent should know, explains the difference between fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents, and clears up common misconceptions about "dry drowning." HeHe and Tyler also dive into practical, actionable ways to reduce risk, including why designated water watchers matter, how distractions like phones can become dangerous around water, and the truth about puddle jumpers, floaties, and water wings. They discuss home pool safety, the best swimsuit colors for visibility, and what parents with multiple children can do to keep everyone safer during pool days. You'll also learn why swim lessons are about so much more than learning strokes, how early children can start building water safety skills, and what progression through swim lessons actually looks like from infancy through childhood. Whether you're heading into summer, planning pool days, vacationing near water, or simply wanting to be more prepared, this episode is packed with life-saving information that could make all the difference for your family. 00:00 Put the Phone Down 00:54 Partner as Birth Advocate 02:46 Father's Day Dad Daze Deal 09:23 Why Water Safety Matters 13:10 Where Drowning Happens 15:05 Dry vs Nonfatal Drowning 17:30 Poolside Distractions 19:02 Water Watcher System 22:06 Floaties and False Security 26:22 Multiples and Home Pool Safety 32:17 Pool Alarms And Sensors 33:15 Highway Rule Pool Temptations 34:36 Fence Durability And Gate Safety 35:48 Why Swim Lessons Matter 39:31 Lesson Levels Skills And Wrap Up Guest Bio: Tyler Bradshaw is the owner of Aqua-Tots Swim School Norwood and a passionate advocate for childhood water safety and drowning prevention.

Dry, barren, discouraged. Vibrant, fruitful, joyful. If we are honest, our Christian lives are often characterized by the first set of words rather than the second. And yet, Jesus promised that His followers will do greater works that He did, and that His joy will be in them. How can this be? How can we experience the vibrant Christian life that was so characteristic of our Lord? The instruction Jesus gives is simple: abide in Me. Join us this Sunday as we discover what this command means and see the fruitful and joyful life that it brings to those who follow it!
Like a lonely grandma falling for a Nigerian scammer, women who have drank the Kool-Aid and the victim consciousness of “perimenopause” have been swindled. “Low libido” is a scam. “Dry vagina” is a scam. “Hot flashes” are a scam. “Sleepless nights” are a scam. The only sleepless nights you ought to be having are ones where you get the shit and the victim mindset fucked out of you. I can help you with that. In this episode: Menopausal and “peri-menopausal” women are allopathic medicine's biggest—and most gullible—cash cow Peri-menopause is a fictional condition Hollywood Whores of Babylon are paid to tell you that “menopause sucks” Your body is the perfect hormone production factory Why do the women in Anami Land not need HRT?

It's Dry, Why Do I Have Waterhemp?
If you have ADHD, you might already know this particular kind of shame. You held it together at a super sad event (let's say a funeral). Dry-eyed, composed, functioning. And then weeks later you completely lost it over something small like a scratch in a piece of furniture, a voicemail you couldn't get a read on, or a realizing you missed claiming a hold on the book at the library you'd been waiting months for. Then you thought there was something wrong with you for not feeling grief or frustration when you were supposed to. Or for feeling it so hard in all the wrong places. Here's the thing: there's nothing wrong with you! And this episode is going to tell you why.This conversation with David and Isabelle started with the last ten percent of a move that never gets finished, with Christmas lights still up in January, with holiday cards that feel impossible to take down because taking them down means saying goodbye. You probably have your version of all of this. Isabelle shares her story of an IKEA table, a scrap truck, and how when her husband Bobby gave the table a voice in the alley while she watched from the window, she burst into tears. If any of this strikes a cord, David shares a reframe for all of these grief-based adventures. It's specific, it's kind, and it's going to rearrange some things you've been carrying around for a while.In this episode:Why ADHD brains declare mission accomplished at 95 percent done, and why the last bit never happensWhy dopamine lives in anticipation, not completion, and what that means for the finish line of anythingWhat Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, and The Iron Giant actually did to neurodivergent brains (and why you always buy the wonky stuffed animal)Why ADHD brains tend to hold onto everything or onto nothing, and what both are reaching forWhy you couldn't cry at the funeral but sobbed over an IKEA table, and what David says grief actually is-------Wait, What's That? Here are some of the terms and people mentioned in this episode explained:The ROI Equation What David calls the moment at 95 percent done when your anxiety drops, your brain decides the job is basically finished, and completing the last bit suddenly feels pointless. Not laziness. Not a character flaw. Just math.Dopamine The brain chemical most associated with ADHD. It gets released in anticipation of a reward, not when the reward actually arrives. This is why ordering the pizza feels better than eating it, why the first ninety percent of a project is exciting and the last ten is impossible, and why the Christmas lights are still up in February.Norepinephrine (Nora) Comes in after dopamine and helps your brain make meaning of what just happened. Also wired into the stress and anxiety response, which is why finishing something can feel worse than you expected. David and Isabelle call it "nora" throughout the episode.Existential Intervention David's term for the conscious act of changing the meaning you attach to finishing something, since your brain won't generate that motivation on its own. Instead of waiting to feel ready, you decide what finishing actually means to you. That decision becomes the thing that gets you across the line.Near-peer mentoring Learning from someone just a few steps ahead of you rather than an expert at a distance. Comes up in the context of the pandemic, when both David and Isabelle realized everyone's life looked a lot more like theirs than they'd assumed.Animism The tendency to believe objects have feelings or inner lives. It shows up as why Isabelle is nearly in tears watching an IKEA table get picked up by a scrap truck, why David buys the dying flowers at the store, and why you feel genuinely bad about donating a stuffed animal with slightly off stitching. Most neurodivergent people have it. The episode makes a case for why that makes complete sense.-------
What if the thing making you sick has been hiding inside your walls the entire time - and every inspector who walked through missed it? In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Brian Karr, mold investigator and founder of We Inspect, to break down why conventional mold inspections miss up to 90% of real problems, why air sampling is the wrong test for the job, and how a simple at-home dust test can tell you whether your home is actively driving what's happening in your body. Brian walks through the warning signs most people rationalize away, the two household patterns that almost always point to mold, and how his exposure mapping system helps people prioritize remediation without gutting their entire home. For anyone navigating a serious health condition, this conversation could be the missing piece nobody thought to look for.

In this episode of The 20/20 Podcast, Dr. Harbir Sian sits down with internationally recognized dry eye expert and ophthalmologist Dr. Laura Periman from Seattle, Washington. Rather than focusing on rigid protocols or step-by-step treatment algorithms, the conversation zooms out to explore how clinicians should think about dry eye disease in an era of rapidly evolving science.Dr. Periman explains why “dry eye” is an oversimplified label for an incredibly complex and multifactorial disease process involving inflammation, neurosensory dysfunction, pain pathways, microbiome disruption, blink mechanics, ocular surface disease, and more. She describes the field as a constantly expanding landscape where curiosity, innovation, and questioning old assumptions are essential. The discussion dives into emerging innovations in dry eye care, including molecular therapies aimed at repairing corneal tissue, targeted approaches to recurrent corneal erosion, novel pain-signaling pathways, and therapies addressing neurosensory compromise. Dr. Periman shares insights from presenting recent dry eye innovations at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, highlighting how advances in the field are reshaping our understanding of ocular surface disease. The conversation also explores personalized medicine in dry eye management. Rather than applying generic treatments, Dr. Periman advocates identifying the specific mechanistic contributors in each patient—whether that's Demodex, rosacea, incomplete blinking, inflammation, dysbiosis, blepharitis, or neurosensory dysfunction—and selecting targeted interventions accordingly. Finally, the episode touches on the growing importance of ocular surface optimization before refractive and cataract surgery. Dr. Periman discusses evidence suggesting that preoperative management with immunomodulators may improve surgical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and visual quality. She also challenges long-held beliefs about how quickly these therapies work, emphasizing the importance of revisiting old dogma as new evidence emerges. At its core, this episode is a reminder that the best clinicians remain curious, question assumptions, and continually evolve alongside the science.Key Moments1. “Dry eye isn't just dry eye.”Dr. Periman reframes dry eye as an enormous umbrella term covering multiple overlapping disease mechanisms, emphasizing the need for deeper thinking beyond traditional categories. 2. The future of treatment is molecular and personalized.The conversation explores emerging therapies targeting recurrent corneal erosion, connexin signaling, pain pathways, and tissue repair—pointing toward increasingly precise, individualized care. 3. Better surgical outcomes may start weeks before surgery.Dr. Periman discusses evidence supporting pre-treatment of ocular surface inflammation prior to refractive and cataract procedures, potentially improving outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Dry conditions across Western Canada last fall left many farmers questioning whether fall-seeded crops would establish at all. But for Cole Ambrock and his family farm near Myrnam, Alta., hybrid rye still made sense — even if it meant “dusting in” the crop and hoping for moisture later. Ambrock, who is also sales and marketing... Read More
Dry conditions have left some dryland alfalfa fields short, stressed, and slow to grow. When plants are only six to twelve inches tall, turning purple, yellow, or gray, and starting to bloom, the question becomes: should we cut it, graze it, or leave it alone?

https://jo.my/uymenbStatic Control, Grounding, and Dust Prevention in Dry FacilitiesStatic can seem harmless. A little snap from a handrail. A shirt clinging to your sleeve. A spark you barely notice. But in a dry warehouse facility, static can build up quickly on conveyor belts, rollers, sorters, plastic totes, and moving product.That spark has a job. It wants to jump. If it comes into contact with dust, vapors, or flammable liquids, the result can be serious. Fast. Dangerous. Preventable.A strong Safety Culture pays attention to the small signs before they become big events. Static control and grounding aren't paperwork items. They're daily habits that protect people, property, and production.Here are a few tips to assist you with Static & Grounding in Dry Warehouses: Watch conveyor and sorting systems for static trouble. Dry air, fast belts, plastic parts, and constant friction can create static buildup. Report repeated shocks, snapping sounds, product sticking, or odd dust attraction. Those are warning signs. Keep grounding and bonding points clean and secure. A loose clamp or dirty contact can break the path to ground. Ensure approved grounding points are used in areas where flammable liquids are present. Never remove or bypass grounding connections to “save time.” Control flammable liquid storage areas. Keep containers closed when they're not in use. Store them only in approved areas. Make sure bonding and grounding steps are followed during transfer, pouring, or dispensing. One spark can be enough. Manage dust near electrical panels. Dust can block airflow, hold heat, and increase fire risk. Keep panel areas clean, dry, and clear. Don't stack products, tools, or trash in front of electrical cabinets. Access matters during both normal work and emergencies. Report dry air and repeat static issues early. If workers get shocked often, don't shrug it off. Tell supervision so the facility can review humidity, equipment condition, grounding, and cleaning practices. Small reports prevent big losses. As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.The best facilities don't wait for smoke, sparks, or shutdowns before they act. They train people to notice the little things. They fix clamps. They clean dust. They ask questions before a shortcut becomes a fire.Static control is really about discipline. Grounding is really about trust. Dust control is really about respect for the energy around us every day. You may not see electricity working, but you better believe it's there.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!#Safety #SafetyCulture #StaySafe #SafetyFirst #SafetyTips #StayAlert #SafetyAwareness #ElectricalSafety #EnergyControl #StaticControl #GroundingSafety #FacilitySafety #DustPrevention
Send us Fan MailWelcome to this brief episode on dry needling and what current research suggests may explain its pain-relieving effects. The episode clarifies why it's called “dry” needling (no medication injected) and emphasizes the importance of being able to explain why it may help patients. Dry needling is presented as working locally and systemically through four main mechanisms: local muscle and tissue effects, biomechanical and inflammatory biomarker changes, peripheral and spinal pain modulation, and supraspinal/autonomic pathways. We also discuss who this is appropriate for, and how to combine it with other techniques to help our patients get to their goals successfully.00:00 Welcome to PTs Snacks00:48 Why Dry Needling Matters01:15 What It Is and Isn't02:39 Four Mechanisms Overview03:24 Local Tissue Effects04:19 Inflammation Biomarkers05:14 Spinal Pain Modulation06:35 Autonomic Brain Pathways07:16 Who Should Avoid It07:58 Patient Education and Training08:52 Wrap Up and Next StepsNeed CEUs?Unlock unlimited online courses, live webinars, and certification-prep programs with MedBridge.

In this episode, host Jack Eidt delves into the groundbreaking archaeological discoveries at the Huaca Montegrande site in the Peruvian Amazon with guest Karen Gordon, an associate at ASICAMPE, the nonprofit Association for Scientific Research of the Peruvian Amazon [https://abundantearthfoundation.org/ancientcacao/]. They explore the ancient Marañon culture, their sophisticated agroforestry practices, and the origins of cacao, the plant responsible for the world's chocolate. Traces of cacao have been found in 6,000-year-old ceremonial pottery vessels from what is now recognized as the oldest monumental temple site in Peru, predating the pyramids of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Tune in to learn how these findings are rewriting the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Nominated as one of the Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries in the World, Montegrande is currently unearthing the story of the ancient Amazonian Marañon Culture and their sophisticated agroforestry practices, social structure, and cosmovision – 3,000 years before the more well-studied Inca and Nazca cultures. These findings completely rewrite the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Groundbreaking evidence from Montegrande points to the Marañon Culture as being the earliest human stewards of cacao in the world, tending its domestication, cultivation, veneration and trade.

Episode OverviewIn this Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report on The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash reconnects with Captain Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides for a timely late-spring conditions check on the Susquehanna River system. The frog bite has been exceptional — two solid weeks of deer hair bug action — and Brian breaks down exactly how to rig, dress and present deer hair frogs for surface-eating smallmouth before the post-spawn funk sets in. Beyond the fishing report, Marvin turns the episode over to a listener question from Myles, a college angler eyeing a career in guiding, and Brian delivers a candid, experience-rich breakdown of how to break into and build longevity in the guide game. Brian's own path — 40-plus years as a union electrician running parallel to a decades-long guiding career on the Susquehanna, with Bob Clouser as a key early mentor — frames the conversation in practical terms. The dual-career model, the reality of weather-dependent income, the roughly 10-year timeline to build a dependable client base, and the value of humility with clients all get real treatment here. This episode delivers useful tactical information for smallmouth anglers targeting the frog bite while also offering one of the most grounded, experience-backed discussions of guide career structure the show has produced.Key TakeawaysHow to select and prepare deer hair frog patterns — including applying resin to the belly for proper orientation — to maximize floatation and presentation during the late-spring frog bite on Pennsylvania smallmouth rivers.Why the frog bite window is typically compressed into the first few weeks of May under normal conditions, and how unseasonable heat and weather swings can extend or disrupt that window.When to adjust expectations after the spawn: the first three weeks of June typically produce slower, more selective fishing as post-spawn fish recuperate, though early-spawn fish may already be active.How to build a dedicated leader system for deer hair frogs — an 8-foot tapered construction stepping from 40-pound to 16-pound with a barrel swivel — that turns large surface flies over cleanly.Why building a guide career alongside a stable parallel career is a realistic and financially sound path, with Brian's union electrician model illustrating how to stage the transition over roughly 10 years.How to break into guiding by starting through local fly shops, connecting with independent guides as mentors or attending a structured guide school — with humility and client service as the non-negotiable foundation.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode centers on top water fly fishing for smallmouth bass during the late-spring frog bite, with deer hair frogs — specifically the Umpqua swimming frog — as Brian's primary choice, supplemented by green blockhead poppers and green boogle bugs as accessible alternatives. Brian details his prep routine: applying resin to the belly of deer hair frogs to ensure the fly lands face-up, belly-down, and using a powder floatant (such as High and Dry) to maintain buoyancy throughout the day. For the leader, Brian constructs an 8-foot system stepping from 2 feet of 40-pound down through 30-pound and 25-pound sections, then 18 inches of 20-pound, a barrel swivel and an 18-inch tippet of 16-pound — a setup designed to turn over wind-resistant deer hair patterns without sacrificing control. His preferred fly line for the frog game is the Scientific Anglers Amplitude Bass Bug Taper, chosen for its ability to load quickly and deliver bulky flies accurately. The deer hair frog presentation is described as a highly visual game: the fly is watched throughout the retrieve, with the surface eat being the primary reward and tactical cue.Locations & SpeciesThe episode focuses on the Susquehanna River system in Central and South Central Pennsylvania, the home water of Susquehanna River Guides. Smallmouth bass are the exclusive target species discussed, specifically in the context of the late-spring frog bite and the post-spawn transition. Brian notes that under normal seasonal conditions, the frog bite runs from early to late May before the first three weeks of June bring slower, post-spawn fishing as fish recuperate from the spawn. The episode also touches on how erratic spring weather — extended heat waves followed by sharp cooldowns and potential rainfall — can compress or disrupt the frog window and push the spawn cycle off its typical rhythm. These conditions and species dynamics are broadly applicable to any angler fishing for smallmouth on mid-Atlantic river systems.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat is the best fly pattern and presentation for the late-spring smallmouth frog bite in Pennsylvania?Brian Shumaker's go-to is the Umpqua swimming frog, with green blockhead poppers and green boogle bugs as workable alternatives when deer hair patterns aren't available. He emphasizes that the frog game at this time of year is a visual experience — watching the fly, watching the eat — and that having the fly properly oriented (face-up, belly-down) through resin treatment and a powder floatant keeps the presentation clean and fishing effectively throughout a day on the water.How do you rig a leader for casting deer hair frog patterns on a fly rod?Brian builds an 8-foot tapered leader starting with 2 feet of 40-pound, stepping down through 2 feet of 30-pound and 2 feet of 25-pound, then 18 inches of 20-pound, a barrel swivel and a final 18-inch section of 16-pound tippet. The taper allows the heavy, wind-resistant deer hair fly to turn over cleanly, and the barrel swivel reduces line twist during the retrieve. He pairs this system with the Scientific Anglers Amplitude Bass Bug Taper fly line.How long does the frog bite window typically last for Pennsylvania smallmouth, and what ends it?Under normal conditions, Brian says the frog bite starts around the beginning of May and runs through the end of May — roughly a four-week window. Post-spawn funk among June fish and the shift to summer patterns typically close the most productive surface action. This year, an erratic spring with heat waves and sharp temperature drops has made the window less predictable, and incoming rainfall may affect how much of the frog bite remains.What is the best way to break into the fly fishing guide profession?Brian recommends starting by approaching local fly shops about guide training opportunities, or connecting with established independent guides who may be willing to take on a mentee. Guide schools — typically two-week programs often run in the West — provide certification that carries weight with outfitters. The most important qualities, in Brian's experience, are humility and a genuine commitment to the client experience. He credits Bob Clouser as a critical mentor in his own career, while acknowledging that not everyone will have access to that level of mentorship.How long does it realistically take to build a viable guiding career, and how do you manage financial risk along the way?Brian's honest answer is about 10 years to build a client base substantial enough to feel comfortable leaving a parallel career for the guiding season. He ran a union electrician career alongside his guiding work for decades, which gave him the flexibility to ramp up guiding progressively without the full financial exposure of going all-in immediately. He compares guiding to farming in terms of weather dependency — wet springs, low summer flows and drought conditions can all eliminate weeks of booked trips — and emphasizes that the income risk is real and not suited to everyone.Related ContentS8, Ep 31: Chasing Smallmouth: Brian Shumaker's Adaptations for Unpredictable Spring WeatherS8, Ep 27: The Pre-Spawn Puzzle: Captain Brian Shumaker's Tips for Pennsylvania SmallmouthS1, Ep 97: All Things Smallmouth with Mike SchultzS7, Ep 33: Nut Jobs and Chimichangas: A PA Smallmouth Update with Brendan RuchConnect with Our GuestFollow Brian on Facebook and Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our

Podcast Summary: Sober.Coffee Episode #268Title: The Foundation of Recovery: A Tribute to Dr. JohnGuests: Dr. John (Rebroadcast from October 2022)Hosts: Mike and GlennEpisode OverviewIn this moving rebroadcast, Mike and Glenn return to a deep and revealing conversation with the late Dr. John, a trained physician and recovery doctor who dedicated his life to absolute service. With no agenda other than helping others achieve sobriety, Dr. John joins the "Sober Coffee Shop" to deconstruct Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous and explain why a "perfect" understanding of this foundation is the difference between life and death.The "Why" vs. The SolutionDr. John provides a clinical yet spiritual perspective on the disease, noting that "treatment can only be as effective as your diagnosis is accurate." While many therapies focus on symptom relief and analyzing the problem, Dr. John argues that AA is the "best therapy on the planet" because it focuses entirely on the solution.Insight isn't enough: John famously notes that "insight and $5 will get you simply a cup of coffee."The Difference: AA taught John that feeling better and getting well are two entirely different things.The "Screwed" Reality of Step 1The team discusses the staggering statistics of recovery: while millions suffer, many who enter AA leave and never return. Dr. John suggests that those who fail often fail because they do not thoroughly follow the path or fully grasp the weight of Step 1.The Diagnosis: Step 1 means you are "screwed." Alcoholism is a terminal illness—a "malignant soul."Powerlessness: It isn't just about the drink; it's about the "ISM." Even with the "plug in the jug," the alcoholic still "ticks" the way they do because they have Alcoholism, not "Alcohol-wasm."The "Get Well" ProgramReflecting on his first year of sobriety, Dr. John confesses he almost left because he wasn't feeling the "joy" others described. An old-timer gave him the perspective that changed his life: "This is not a feel-good program; this is a get-well program."John emphasizes that humans are poor judges of their own progress. If you are doing the work—attending meetings, calling a sponsor, and praying—you are likely doing well, regardless of how you "feel" in the moment.Dr. John's "Nuggets" for RecoveryDr. John leaves listeners with a powerful framework for a lasting transformation:AA is not a "feel-good" program: It is designed to save your life, not provide instant comfort.Alcoholism, not Alcohol-wasm: The disease remains active even when you are dry.Get Well, not Get Good: It's about healing a diseased soul, not just "behaving" better.Dry vs. Sober: You can keep yourself dry alone, but it takes the program and fellowship to get sober.Transformation vs. Reformation: Recovery is a total internal shift found through the 12 steps and helping others."Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path." Dr. John's takeaway: Maybe never has a person failed who truly follows the path. The principles are perfect; the people are not. Keep working the work.

Match the hatch, make a clean cast, and watch the eat. But once you dig into how top competitors approach it, you realize it's not about the fly nearly as much as everything around it. In this episode, I sat down with Devin Olsen and Jack Arnot to break down what they're doing differently, especially with the Spanish dry fly system. This one gets into leader design, casting control, and why simplifying your flies might actually help you catch more fish. If you've ever struggled with drag, picky fish, or missed eats on dries, this one will open your eyes. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/922b
Episode Maxim "When it comes to firearms training—there's no substitute for real-time coaching and learning to think outside the box." Episode Summary In this episode, Keith and I sit down with Jack Daniel, Director of Training at Thunder Ranch, to dive deep into the art and science of firearms training. Drawing on his 19-year law enforcement career specializing in patrol, narcotics, and SWAT leadership, Jack shares the lessons he's carried into civilian training and the mindset shifts required when moving from law enforcement to teaching civilians. Jack unpacks the importance of individualized instruction, the role of leadership on the range, and how Thunder Ranch continues to evolve its training doctrines post-Clint Smith. We explore everything from dry fire best practices and common student “training scars,” to crucial live fire drills and the value of pressure-tested mindset and mechanics. We also discuss what makes Thunder Ranch stand out among firearms training facilities, gear failures to avoid, and Jack's approach to realistic defensive encounters. Plus, Jack shares his rapid-fire insights on overhyped training trends, fist fighting myths, and the most overlooked piece of carry gear—all while giving listeners actionable advice to elevate their skills.

Every class at Thunder Ranch is customized—no cookie-cutter training, all individualized focus (08:12). Mechanical “scars” like unnecessary motion and bad reload habits are common even in experienced shooters (19:43). Dry fire is valuable, but be mindful of ingraining poor habits; in-person instruction is irreplaceable (22:40). The best live fire drill: Draw and fire one round with precision under a realistic time constraint (38:09). Thunder Ranch's efficiency, world-class facility, and a culture of humility among instructors make it unique (51:17). Mindset often breaks down first unless pressure-tested; mechanics and mindset must both be trained (42:38). Maintenance and correct installation of gear prevents failures, even with high-end equipment (59:01). The ranch's foundation is solid—innovation continues while honoring Clint Smith's legacy (46:41).

Joe's Premium Subscription: www.standardgrain.comGrain Markets and Other Stuff Links —Apple PodcastsSpotifyTikTokYouTubeFutures and options trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.Oklahoma's winter wheat crop is on track for a historically poor season, with crop tour estimates coming in at 47.8 million bushels — nearly half the 10-year average and down 55% from last year, despite farmers planting 6% more acres. Dry conditions continue to grip the region, with 84% of the state experiencing some level of drought. The Kansas wheat tour is up next, where similarly disappointing numbers are expected. Meanwhile, the Texas wheat crop is battling both drought and a widespread disease outbreak tied to the wheat curl mite, with 56% of the crop rated poor to very poor.In Europe, corn futures surged to a near two-year high amid supply concerns, with French acreage expected to fall ~15% and Romania's crop projected to be its smallest in over a decade. High fertilizer costs linked to the Strait of Hormuz closure are a major driver. Back in the US, corn and soybean futures pulled back Tuesday on farmer selling and lower crude prices, while wheat futures slipped on forecasted Plains rainfall — though it's unlikely to make a meaningful dent in drought damage.Gas prices are surging, with the national average hitting $4.48/gallon — up $1.32 from a year ago — and diesel sitting at $5.66. Crude remains above $100/barrel with no resolution in sight on the US-Iran front. Farmer sentiment dipped in April per the Purdue/CME Ag Barometer, with input costs and availability remaining top concerns. And ADM raised its 2026 outlook, citing biofuel policy tailwinds and expectations of China returning to normal soybean buying in Q4.
Dry dropper is great. Just put a nymph under that dry fly and get the best of both worlds. Right? Not so fast . . .The idea that you can have your cake and eat it too — that you'll get perfect drifts on the dry fly and the nymph — and that you somehow double your chances by dropping a nymph under the dry is not true. This is the big lie of dry dropper fishing.Here's the problem: In most cases, neither fly ends up with a great drift. Instead, both flies are compromised and their natural drift is altered. Picky trout don't buy sub-par drifts, so you'll only pick up the occasional lucky trout.But we can have good fishing with a dry dropper rig. It's a go to choice for a many anglers, and it's one of our favorite ways to fish a river.The point here is to acknowledge the problems with a dry dropper system — the inherent drawback — so we can then specifically deal with them or even get rid of them altogether. Know the problem and try to solve it.My good friends Bill Dell, Trevor Smith, Josh Darling, Austin Dando and Matt Grobe are here with me to talk about . . . the big lie of dry dropper.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry DropperPODCAST: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry Dropper - Dry Dropper Skills SeriesVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/
